1840 – Whole System Economics with Joel Solomon

Where has our relationship with money and capital gone wrong as individuals and as a society? What do we have to do to get right with that relationship? In the last interview of the year, co-host David Bilbrey sits down with Joel Solomon to examine those questions and talk about how we can change the dominant economic system.

The origin of money as shared by Joel Solomon I have heard referred to as the economists view of money, as both an origin for the creation of and a definition of currency. The one presented by David Graber in Debt is the anthropologist’s view. For an interesting discussion of this, and much more, I recommend Philosophy For Our Time Episode 70: The Fantasy of Money, from Institute of Art and Ideas.
